Nice story, little one sided, but its OK to dream that a cop pulled you over because you drive an H2
When he said I'll be back in a minute, he went to his car and ran a "29" Cop talk for he ran your license and the vehicle registration to see if you had warrants, suspended license and so on.
Most of the time cops pull over people like you (meaning nice, hard working people who contribute to society) for small things from time to time. It’s ALWAYS the small traffic violation that finds the dead body in the truck, the drunk driver about to plow through a bunch of pedestrians, the burglar lurking in a neighborhood, a robber who has just committed a robbery. People who have just stolen a car, drive Erratically like this.
As for him wanting to look at your freaking vehicle, NO WAY! They may say that as a way of breaking the "ICE", being polite, catching you off guard to disguise the real reason for the stop. See.......you fell for it.
Look at this way, he stopped you for an unsafe lane change, which is the #1 TRAFFIC COLLISION FACTOR in the state of CA and I'll bet if you go down to the CO STATE HIGHWAY PATROL and ask them, they will tell you it is the #1 collision factor there too.
It’s OK to be proud of the H2 and I certainly am VERY PROUD of mine, but you need to get a life. THE COPS DIDN'T PULL YOU OVER TO LOOK AT YOU RIG!
As for the other comment "I'm thinking.....you just weaved in and out of traffic, put 15-20 people in danger, drove like a madman to catch up to me just to tell ME I made an unsafe lane change?" WE ARE PROFFESSIONAL, HIGHLY TRAINED DRIVERS WHO ATTEND HI SPEED EMERGENCY VEHICLE OPERATION COURSES EVERY YEAR.............you are not.
Writing about your experience is cool and I enjoy reading about them, but putting words into a police officer's mouth about something as unintelligent as pulling you over to look at your vehicle is stupid.............
By the way, the code for an unsafe lane change is 21650 CVC
